Rebuttal to Thadou Tribe Council's Baseless Allegations
- 17th August 2024 : Thadou Community International (TCI) -

The Thadou Community International (TCI) is issuing this rebuttal to the unwarranted and misinformation by the Churachandpur/Tuibong based-Thadou Tribe Council (TTC-GHQ) in their press release dated August 14, 2024.

TCI rejects the false and baseless claims by the fake Thadou Tribe Council (TTC) that TCI is a "bogus entity" formed by non-resident Thadou individuals. The fact is that the fake TTC is the one that is bogus and that it is nothing but a creation of anti-Thadou vested interests and Kuki supremacists with an aim to pursue anti-Thadou misinformation propaganda to cause confusion and misunderstanding in the community.

Far from the baseless misinformation by the TTC, as we have previously clearly stated, TCI is formed by genuine people from Thadou community from every nook and corner of the world, including the USA, the UK, Norway, Australia, Myanmar, India, Singapore, Macau, Malaysia, who share a common passion, vision and goal of defending the rights and best interests, and promoting the welfare, of the Thadou community.

TCI currently has two convenors and 30 other executive members representing all countries where Thadous live. In pursuit of Thadou interest and its motto, that is, peace, justice, courage, liberty and unity, TCI is committed to addressing issues of the rampant and ongoing injustices, persecution and human rights abuse against members of Thadou community.

TCI also remains committed to its mission of uniting and empowering the Thadou community locally as well as globally and we will not be deterred by any individuals and organisations who do not have concerns for the welfare of the Thadou people be it external or from within the community. TCI will continue to pursue the path of justice, peace and non-violent resolutions for Thadou people regardless of geographical locations.

The claim of TTC-GHQ that they are the apex body of the Thadou Tribe is ridiculous and laughable as TTC was renamed as Thadou Inpi at the Thadou Conclave Declaration, 2015 and since then TTC ceased to exist.

Following the news of the formation of the fake TTC in Churachandpur in January this year, Thadou Inpi and TSA have issued clarifications about the non-existence and fakeness of the so-called TTC, asking the anti-Thadou propagandists to stop their misinformation.

We would like to advice the general public and the media to be not misled and deceived by misinformation from TTC and not to entertain any press release in the name of Thadou Tribe Council (TTC) which at best is confined to Churachandpur Tuibong area and controlled by some Kuki supremacists for their cheap nefarious agenda.
